JBoss debugging in Eclipse

debugging, eclipse, java, jboss

Solution

You mean remote debug JBoss from Eclipse ?

From Configuring Eclipse for Remote Debugging:

Set the JAVA_OPTS variable as follows:

set JAVA_OPTS= -Xdebug -Xnoagent 
   -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n %JAVA_OPTS%

or:

JAVA_OPTS="-Xdebug -Xnoagent 
  -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n $JAVA_OPTS"

In the Debug frame, select the Remote Java Application node.

In the Connection Properties, specify `localhost` as the Host and specify the Port as the port that was specified in the run batch script of the JBoss server, `8787`.

Problem

How do you configure JBoss to debug an application in Eclipse?
